Remember to eat at Arby's

Hey all. I'm heading out of town from now until the 27th (at the latest depending), so I won't be able to work on digital commissions until I return. I'll be using the time to work on my traditional media backlog, process new colorization orders, and catch up on messages/posting.

The trip is for heading back down to Connecticut. Saturday will be to attend a wedding, featuring (is that the right word?) my partner's friend from high school. I don't really know anyone there, but it should be a nice time getting out and meeting some new people. The other reason is less nice; there was a recent death in my partner's family, so we'll be meeting with the affected family members to support them and help with whatever they need for a short bit.

I'll still be online and contactable while I'm away, but yeah, no digital commission work til I'm back.

I’m back home and ready to take more cub-centric sketch colorization orders!

As before, this form is specifically for sketches done outside of Artconomy, for cub art.

Slots will not be randomized or anything like that. Basically, if you got a sketch, you can get an upgrade! I will only be limiting how many I take at once, so I don't get overloaded. Additionally, these will not be streamed this time around. Turnaround time will be about 2 weeks from payment date.

Form here - https://forms.gle/Bu9DJfyqKJNxp6F37

* Base price: $50 per character
* Includes cleaned up sketch lines and flat colors with eye rendering
* Complex fur patterns, multi-limbs, textured objects, fluids, etc. will add to base cost

Streaming! Thought it would be nice to go on mic and catch up with y'all a bit. I'll be working on some digital coloring commissions, one of some cuties playing an Amiga, and another of an ABDL magical girl design! Stream will go for ~2 hours.

Finished streaming! Thanks very much for coming, it was lovely to chat a bit with you all ^^

I'm trying something new this month, and doing Foxtober (courtesy of FoxPop!)

Every day I'll do one digital or traditional rough sketch of these lesser known fox characters, and post them up here for subscribers (of any amount) to see. At the end of the month, all 31 sketches will be available to buy outright as a download bundle.

Next month, I'll hold a poll to color at least one of the sketches. More info on that later!

I'm three sketches in now for Foxtober 2024 on my Ko-Fi page! Subscribers of any amount get instant access to each daily fox sketch, and at the end of the month the whole bundle will be available as a batch download.

I'm really enjoying this so far!

Streaming! I'm trying something experimental today and offering a multiple slot YCH, featuring my fursona, Malachyte, as a caretaker trying to wrangle a herd of little tykes!

Slots are $15 each, I'm offering 6 to start with and we'll go from there. It's a digital rough sketch that will have some quick colors added at the end. If you're interested, head on in and claim any slots that say OPEN, and we'll go from there! More info in the stream description~

Finished streaming! That was an absolute success, and I really enjoyed drawing this. I didn't get to coloring as I ran out of stamina, so I'll be streaming tomorrow to finish up and color it in.

If you got a spot, expect to hear from me with a link to the sketch for you to download.

Streaming! I'll be coloring in the art from yesterday and finishing that up. Not sure how long it'll take, I'm just streaming til whenever that's finished up~

Finished streaming! This may be the cutest thing I have ever drawn in my life. Thanks for hanging out while I finished up~

I just have to share this, it cannot wait!

Artconomy is holding an art contest! Full details on their blog post here - https://artconomy.com/blog/the-artconomy-character-drink-contest/

It's been a while! I'm returning to making schedules to help show when I'm doing what, but this time I'm going to aim for monthly instead of weekly to cut down on the time I spend making (and stressing) about said schedules. I'm here to make art after all, not calendars!

Unless otherwise specified, all streams will be on Picarto.

Friday the 11th, 9am to 2pm* - Art stream: dress-up themed sketch commissions [maybe NSFW]
Sunday the 13th, 6pm to 9pm - Game stream: Pumpkin Carver
Friday the 18th, 7pm to 9pm - Reading stream: various (public domain) scary stories
Thursday the 24th, 9am to 2pm - Art stream: monster top YCH [NSFW]
Wednesday the 30th, 7pm to 9pm - Reading stream: "The Yellow Wallpaper"

I may add more streams if my schedule allows, any updates to streams will get added here!

*All times in Eastern Standard.

VelMal? Velmwah? However you call me, I'll be there to find some clues and jinkies up the place!

This is a test run sketch for what I'm offering on my Friday sketch stream. Orders for that are open! All info like pricing and how to order are in the product description, so be sure to give it a read please - https://artconomy.com/store/Malachyte/product/4870/

Some quick notes:
- You don't have to be present during the stream.
- Orders are not first come first served, but I can only accept so many so the form will close tomorrow (10.10) at 1pm EDT. Once it's closed, I'll go through and process all the orders I can take on.
- If you order something I can't stream on Picarto, I still may take your order, and just complete it off-stream.
- If you have any questions, I'll keep an eye out and try to answer them! The quickest way to reach me for answers is through telegram @/Malachyte
- I may take more of these throughout the month of October, so if you miss this chance there will most likely be another!

Stream is live! Come hang out while I work on dress-up themed sketches and listen to Halloween-flavored music~ We've got Digimon, Demon Queens and more in store today for costumes!

Finished streaming! Really happy with the results of these, I'll be posting them sooner than later :D I will be adjusting the price however, as it seems I miscalculated a bit how much effort they take!

Reading stream is tonight (6pm EDT)! This is my first time doing something like this, I hope it goes good 🤞

Ah heck! I was half asleep when I posted that reminder! Tonight is Pumpkin Carver, not reading. My bad! 🎃

It's time to carve up some pumpkins in Pumpkin Carver! Come help me decide what to carve, and take a peek at other pumpkin creations at the festival~

And if we end up with extra time, perhaps some Potion Craft?
